Not done a next sale in 10years.
I can go boxing day
Whats the best time?
Is it worth it? Do vips online get best stock
Do some stores get better stock than others.

Not even sure what I want possibly ladies accessories , home maybe some kids items.

Is 5 am or 6am best time heard some scary stories of people grabbing loads to sell on.

I usually find that about a month after the sale is the best time to get stuff from Next clearance after the first lot of returns has come back. You usually have to wait 4+ weeks for the VIP delivery anyway so get stuff at about the same time, I have never not got an item I wanted from the sale by doing this.

Next sale in the shop is a bit shit and they don't have the tall stuff so I wouldn't queue for it. They haven't delivered a couple of items I ordered for Christmas so if they don't come in the next couple of days they better cough up with the gift voucher from their Christmas delivery promise

I have bought Fat Face and Seasalt clothing items

I never shop in Next other than to buy pyjamas in the sale - I usually go in about a week after it starts though.

It's awful. Unless you are size 22 or 6 and want last summer's clothes.

I got a VIP slot and bought some cheap Christmas decs for next year and a Mario chess set for DS's birthday in March

Bloody hell- can’t believe people are organised enough to book a slot to do some sale shopping in next- think I’d rather pay what I’d save to stay as far away as possible!

Good luck to everyone shifting the lot into binbags and then turfing what they don’t want onto the floor. What a time to be alive Confused

The slots are for online shopping, Medicinal. Completely painless sofa shopping.

And they email them to you, so minimal effort required. I was stalking some Barbour boots but the size I wanted sold out.

God no.

In the days when their sale started at 8am me and a friend used to queue at the store at Charing Cross and then head up to Oxford Street and come back laden with bags. Once their opening times moved to 7am, or earlier, I refused to do it.

I drop in now at the end of the first week. There's usually all the stuff that people have brought back, and they make further reductions and I've been quite lucky in the past.
